A tragic road accident in Uttar Pradesh resulted in the deaths of six individuals, with three of the deceased identified as residents of Rajasthan’s Dholpur district. The incident occurred early Tuesday near the 141-mile marker on the Yamuna Expressway in Hathras district. A van heading from Delhi to Dholpur was rear-ended by a double-decker bus traveling from Noida to Gorakhpur.
Thirteen people were in the van during the collision, leading to six fatalities and injuries to others. The van’s rear section was severely damaged, causing it to lurch approximately 10 feet forward and overturn, leaving bodies strewn on the road. Eyewitnesses recounted chaotic scenes with sounds of distress reverberating along the expressway.
Among the deceased were three individuals from Rajakheda in Dholpur, identified as Dinesh, his wife Sunita from Gangoliapura, and Lokesh from Somali Ka Gher village. They were on their way home to celebrate Holi with their families. Dinesh, a confectioner in Noida, resided in Sector 41 with his wife and children, while Lokesh, a pastry baker in Delhi, left behind a grieving wife and four young daughters, the youngest being just three months old.
The tragic news spread rapidly, enveloping entire villages in grief. As investigations into the accident’s cause continue, families of the deceased have hurried to Uttar Pradesh to seek answers and closure.
